🕯️ Today, we remember and mourn the ones we have lost.
We will continue to fight for trans rights and equality while doing what we can to protect our community by holding people in power to account.
To all of our siblings who are struggling, we see you, we hear you and you are loved.

To put a finer point on it: An "illegal order" is one that violates their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
If you think that upholding the Constitution = sedition, well...you do the math.

Them: “You don’t have to obey illegal orders.”
Him: “That’s seditious! They should be hanged!”
Definitely not beating the giving-illegal-orders allegations.

Gun violence against the transgender community and broader LGBTQ+ community is rampant. We cannot accept these attacks as the status quo, including by lawmakers who create policies that reject and endanger trans lives. #TDOR
Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance, we are holding in our hearts the transgender and gender-expansive people who have been killed in the US in the last year—most of them with guns.

Trans Day of Remembrance was born in 1999 from a group of friends in Boston, and the simple act of saying their lost beloved's name out loud. Tonight we say the names of 69 new beloveds, and from our grief reclaim their power. I wrote a bit about the history of TDOR and the roots of the ritual here.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I spent the morning at an ICE raid in Newark- here is what we saw- workers released in the freezing cold without their belongings or way to get home, FBI being utilized as cover when these neighbors were zero threat, and ICE trying (and failing) to get local agencies to do their dirty work. Shame

When Evanston found out that Flock was breaking the terms of the contract, & was sharing data with other departments, that then shared the data with ICE, Evanston immediately put covers over the cameras & left them covered while they cancelled the contract & they were removed
Atlanta is assisting ICE and other federal law enforcement in abductions by giving them access to the city’s Flock traffic cameras.

Of course trump has now flipped and wants republicans in the house to vote to release the files.
Because he knows Blondi will not release them because of a newly opened "investigation" that will NEVER end.
